Anomalous origin of right coronary artery from pulmonary artery is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Anomalous right coronary artery often be a incidental finding without serious cardiovascular sequale. The only characteristic physical finding is a continuous murmur with diastolic accentuation. There are no diagnostic EKG or chest X-ray changes. Diagnosis is made best by selective left coronary arteriography showing retrograde filling of right coronary artery from collateral vessels. Here, we present a case of twenty-four months old aged girl with anomalous origin of right coronary artery combined with pulmonary stenosis. This is the first pediatric patient with anomalous right coronary artery and the first patient to have surgical correction for this malformation.

Origin of both great vessels from morphological left ventricle [DOLV] is a rare cardiac anomaly which embryologic possibility has been explained by differential conal development concept and differential canal absorption concept. Recently we had surgical experience of DOLV in 4 month-age infant weighing 5.7Kg. The chief complaints on admission were cyanosis and anoxic spell during severe crying, and right heart catheterization and right ventriculogram were performed but incorrect diagnosis was made. The operative procedures were ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, patch closure of subaortic VSD aligning aorta and pulmonary artery with left ventricle, suture closure of proximal pulmonary artery and valve and the use of extracardiac valved conduit [Carpentier-Edward l4mm] from right ventricle to distal pulmonary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in the good condition.

Pulmonary sequestration is a complex anomaly involving the pulmonary parenchymal tissue and its vasculature. It presents as a cystic mass of nonfunctional lung tissue without communication with the tracheobronchial system. Usually, it receives blood supply from anomalous systemic vessels. Therefore, preoperative diagnosis of the pulmonary sequestration is difficult, especially when it is located in the abdomen and combined with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation(CCAM). We encountered such a mass(CCAM type 2) detected prenatally by ultrasonography. It was a kidney bean shaped, pinkish mass straddling the thorax and abdomen on the right side. Because of the sonographic appearance, neuroblastoma was diagnosed preoperatively. The mass was completely extirpated without difficulty.

The combination of interrupted aortic arch and aortopulmonary window is a rare presentation of congenital heart disease, which requires early diagnosis and surgical treatment. We describe a successful one-stage repair of the anomaly through median sternotomy in a 10-day-old neonate weighing 2.46 kg.

The purpose of this study is to design the algorithm, Predictive Service Component - PSC, for forecasting and judging obsolescence of solar system that is implemented based on the micro-inverter. PSC proposed in this study is suitable for monitoring of distributed power generation systems. It provides a diagnosis functionality to detect failures and anomaly events. It also can determine the aging of PV systems. The conclusion of this study shows the research and development of this kind of integrated system using PSC will be needed more and varied in the near future.

Laryngomalacia is the most common congenital anomaly that causes inspiratory stridor and airway obstruction in the newborn. Symptoms begin to appear after weeks of age, become worse at 4-8 months, improve between 8-12 months, and usually heal naturally at 12-18 months. Despite these common natural processes, the symptoms of the disease can be very diverse and, in severe cases, require surgical treatment. The diagnosis can be made by suspicion of clinical symptoms and direct observation of the larynx with the spontaneous breathing of the child. Typical laryngeal features include omega-shaped epiglottis, retroflexed epiglottis, short aryepiglottic fold, poor visualization of the vocal folds, and edema of the posterior glottis, including inspiratory supra-arytenoid tissue prolapse. In this review, we discuss the classification and treatment based on symptoms and laryngoscopic findings in patients with laryngomalacia.

Gemination, a relatively uncommon dental anomaly, is characterized by its peculiar representation as a tooth with a bifid crown and a common root and root canal. It usually occurs in primary dentition. To come across gemination in a supernumerary tooth is a rare phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to present a unique case of hyperdontia wherein gemination in an impacted supernumerary tooth resulted in a trifid crown unlike the usual bifid crown. The role of conventional radiographs as well as computed tomography, to accurately determine the morphology and spatial location, and to arrive at a diagnosis, is also emphasized in this paper.

A new methodology is presented to diagnose faults in equipment plasma. This is accomplished by using neural networks as a pattern recognizer of radio frequency (rf) impedance match data. Using a match monitor system, the match data were collected. The monitor system consisted mainly of a multifunction board and a signal flow diagram coded by Visual Designer. Plasma anomaly was effectively represented by electrical match positions. Twenty sets of fault-symptom patterns were experimentally simulated with variations in process factors, which include rf source power, pressure, Ar, and $O_$2 flow rates. As an input to neural networks, two means and standard deviations of positions were used as well as a reflected power. Diagnostic accuracy was measured as a function of training factors, which include the number of hidden neurons, the magnitude of initial weights, and two gradients of neuron activation functions. The accuracy was the most sensitive to the number of hidden neurons. Interaction effects on the accuracy were also examined by performing a 2$^$4 full factorial experiment. The experiments were performed on multipole inductively coupled plasma equipment.

Anatomical anomaly of temporo-madiblar joint and its dysfunction is becoming one of the important problem in dentistry because the number of these cases are increasing rapidly. Applying 'Lateral Transcranial Technic', 'Updegrave method' and 'Denar Accuard 100' to skull and adult with normal occlusion the author obtained following results: 1. Grewcock method combied with cephalostat as one of 'Lateral Transcranial Technic' revealed clear picture but the image of condyle head was tend to incline downward. 2. Direction of central radiation in 'Updegrave method' should be 2 recommended inch upward from auditorial mearus. 3. For functional analysis and correct diagnosis 'Denar Accuard 100' should be highly recommended.

Gastric duplication is a rare anomaly which account for only 3.8% of all gastrointestinal duplication. Gastric duplications are usually cystic lesion without communication with lumen. Most frequent presentation is an abdominal mass with vomiting, mainly diagnosed within the first year of life. Surgical removal is necessary in all cases, and optimal timing for surgery is the time that diagnosis is made. However, prenatally diagnosed gastric duplication is getting more common, and determining timing for surgery is not easy due to absent or minimal symptoms just after birth. We experienced prenatally diagnosed gastric duplication in a female newborn baby that gastric duplication was suggested in $24^{th}$ week of gestational age through prenatal ultrasonogram. Surgical removal was done at 3 months after birth, and showed good results. We think that natural history of gastric duplication and prevalent age of surgical disease which is similar to gastric duplication such infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis should be considered when timing of surgery on prenatally gastric duplication is decided.
